About the book
I love all of MacIntosh's work. This one is definitely one of my favourites' Reader review
Don't miss this hilarious forced proximity, enemies to lovers rom-com from million-copy bestselling author Portia MacIntosh!
In reality it was a business trip, dressed up as a romantic mini break, but the man behind the wheel was meant to be Candice Hart’s boss (and secret boyfriend). Not Danny the new guy.
Not only does Candice have to navigate the cramped quarters of Danny's 'fully' restored VW Beetle, but she also has to contend with his relentless enthusiasm for sharing his thoughts on everything from her career to her love life.
As the journey turns into a chaotic adventure full of unexpected twists, Candice starts to realise that she might actually be enjoying herself with Danny more than she ever expected. Is it time to stop playing it safe and show the world the real Candice Hart?

About the book
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Giana Darling comes a sapphic dark academia Medusa retelling about a woman who was wronged by her idols and refused to pay the price without getting revenge...
I was born a woman.
Raised by women.
In love with women.
Until I enrolled at Acheron University, I'd never known much of men. I certainly didn't know enough to fear them.
Then one stormy autumnal night, Professor Morgan tried to destroy me.
And when we were discovered by the university President, it was me who was punished for the unwanted seduction.
But they left me with two valuable lessons.
I would never let another woman be hurt by men again if I could help it.
And when someone hurts you, betrays you, and tries to rip out your soul, there is only one remedy for the pain.
Revenge.
And mine takes the form of the President's very beautiful, very virginal, very straight daughter, Luna Pallas.
Before the end of term, I'll destroy her innocence just as her mother and Professor Morgan destroyed mine.

About the book
He’s the devil. And she’s his wicked game.
An enemies-to-lovers dark academia romance with a thrilling twist and epic love story from the disturbed mind that brought you the Darkly, Madly Duet.
Halen:
They say eyes are the windows to the soul—but when he looks at me through hues of slate-green and flaring blue embers, I’m terrified of what’s watching me from behind his clashing gaze, something primal and feverish that threatens to melt me like fire in ice.
I fear falling into Kallum Locke’s pitch-black soul.
But after I’m called to a crime scene to investigate the most gruesome act of violence to descend on the legendary town of Hollow’s Row, I have no choice but to turn to Kallum, to the man I had locked away in an asylum for the criminally insane.
He’s the leading expert on all things Nietzsche and occult. And now, to get answers, I’m forced to make a deal with the devil himself.
Kallum:
Really, eyes are the windows to the soul? Then I wonder what little Halen St. James thinks of all the cryptic eyes watching her in the killing fields… I wonder if the hairs on her delicate nape lifted away, if a thrilling shiver raced over her soft skin. She’s desperate for the answer, and she’ll do anything to uncover it—even make a deal with me, dangling freedom like bait on a hook.
But she’s far more tempting to sink my teeth into than any lure.
And the pain will taste twice as sweet.

About the book
“Two predators now circle me in this den of enemies. One I came to hunt, and one I never saw coming.”
“FOURTH WING MEETS HOGWARTS with an addicting twist... If Voldemort had a 23-year-old daughter, you’d get Esme Salem. Dark, sexy and unique!” – Best In Dark Fantasy Romance Reads ★★★★★
Dark mages don’t deal in warnings — only executions.
So when assassin-in-training Esme Salem is tasked with infiltrating a magical defense academy and eliminating Kieran Mazrov — a deadly mage with powers that could erase her kind from existence — it should be treacherous but simple. A poisonous jab to his throat. A garrote bracelet slit across his neck. No hesitation.
What she doesn’t expect is Professor Dayn.
Calculating. Controlled. Lethal in every line of his body — which emits literal heat when he enters a room. He’s supposed to be an academic, but nothing about him screams scholarly. And the more she tries to pursue her mission, the more dangerous he becomes...
She came to kill.
She might just end up undone — unless she can undo both predators first.

Wrong
Romance
Our take
Fantasies are easy when they stay safely behind the counter.

About the book
A New York Times Bestselling Romantic Comedy I have a history of picking the wrong guy. Gay? Player? Momma’s boy? Check, check and check. Now I can’t stop fantasizing about one of the customers at the coffee shop I work at between classes. It’s just a harmless crush, right? It’s not like I ever see this guy outside of the coffee shop. It’s not like I’m going to see him while attempting to get birth control at the student clinic. While wearing a paper gown. While sitting on an exam table. Because he’s the doctor. Shoot. Me. But what if, for once, the man I’ve had the dirtiest, most scandalous fantasies about turned out to be everything but wrong? Authors Note: This book is filthy. If you're offended by that kind of thing, this book is not for you. There are 4 stand alone novels in the series: Wrong - Sophie's Book Right - Everly's Book Fling - Sandra's Book Trust - Chloe's Book

About the book
Fake real dating the one who got away? Sign me up…
There’s just something about bad boys. Tattoos and leather jackets, am I right?
Trouble is, my last boyfriend was a teensy bit too bad and now he’s in prison. Yikes.
When my friends challenge me to take a dip in the good guy side of the dating pool, I see their dating bet and I raise it, looking up the guy I crushed on growing up.
With a winning grin and heart of gold, Gabe Clements is now the star receiver for a pro football team.
Except, the supposed good guy turns out to be nothing like I imagined. He’s better. He’s growly, possessive, smoldering.
And he’s determined too. At the end of the night, he asks me to be his fake real girlfriend for the rest of the week.
Sounds like my kind of dating challenge since he’s a good guy by day, and a very dirty man after dark.
I’ll cure my bad boy blues in no time.
Well, as long as I don’t fall for Gabe’s big heart too.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Tampa Sentinels Captain Hayes Montgomery has hero-worshipped Morgan Reynolds his entire career, watching as the larger-than-life hockey star has racked up stats that always seemed unreal. Unattainable. Unreachable.
Until Hayes himself is labeled “the next one” and to his surprise, he and Morgan end up on the same team together, playing for Team USA in a nation versus nation tournament.
Now Hayes’ hero isn’t just his teammate, but his linemate. They’re hot on the ice, and despite Morgan’s straight reputation, off it too.
It’s only ten days, but it’s the best ten days of his life. That shouldn’t be long enough for a hockey crush to morph into a real crush, but Hayes falls head over heels, launch-himself-off-a-cliff, wildly in love with Morgan, anyway.
They don’t play on the same team or even on the same coast. Normally, they’re never in the same zip code, but that doesn’t change Hayes’ feelings—or his regret when the fling ends.
Fast forward six years. Morgan’s retired, Hayes is writing his own name in the record books, and he’s sure he’s over it. Over him.
But then Morgan arrives in Tampa to watch his rookie son play for the Sentinels.
He doesn’t want to be hung up on his teammate’s dad, but it doesn’t matter how long it’s been or what he’s tried. Morgan still makes Hayes’ knees weak.
And when it turns out Morgan has his own Hayes’ shaped regret?
Maybe they can finally find their way back to each other again.

Our take
Some rivalries never fade, they simply follow you from childhood into every major life event.

About the book
The sparkling new enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Maisey Yates, perfect for fans of Emily Henry's You and Me on Vacation.
If Poppy Love could just avoid Ryan Clark, her life would be fine.
The brooding photographer hated her on sight when they met at twelve years old, and the feeling is mutual. And yet somehow he's always...there: Poppy's first wedding as a cake designer, the second wedding when a bear ate her cake, and then there was the fifth wedding when...well, it's probably best not to mention it, actually.
Now her best friend is getting married and moving to the other side of the world. And as if that impossible heartbreak wasn't awful enough, Poppy, as Maid of Honor, is about to be stuck with Ryan for the whole wedding trip to New Zealand, because of course he's the Best Man.
Perhaps it's time to finally call a truce. Or perhaps it's time Poppy admitted the heat between them isn't truly hate, at all. . .

Caged opens with a line that has never been crossed and the temptation that threatens to erase it.

About the book
Why are the cocky ones always the hardest to resist?
Because this man . . . this man is temptation personified.
He’s six feet, four inches of rock-solid, golden muscles that are inked to perfection and proudly displayed every time he steps into the cage. And I’m the idiot who agreed to stay with him for the next few days.
Hudson “The King” Kingston knew he had a fight coming up when he risked himself to save me. How could I say no when he needed a friend to help him out?
Because that’s exactly what we’ve always been—friends.
Friends who flirt.
Friends who tease.
Friends who never cross that line.
Ever.
The problem is the more time we spend together, the more things shift between us.
But no matter how much I wish he could be my first, he’s never been a relationship guy,
and I refuse to settle for anything less.
I know I can trust him with my life, but can I trust him with my heart?

First love feels safest when it stays hidden. In Only When It Breaks, seventeen-year-old Emmie Carter forms an anonymous text connection with popular, unpredictable Kai Banks, discovering a softer side he never shows at school.

About the book
First love. First betrayal. Some truths only surface when everything falls apart.
Seventeen-year-old Emmie Carter has always flown under the radar. Ignored by the popular crowd, overlooked by her classmates, and perfectly fine with it. That is, until she finds the lost phone of Kai Banks, the school’s golden boy with a sharp tongue and a love for partying.
When Emmie starts texting him anonymously, an unexpected connection sparks. Online, Kai is different, honest, vulnerable, almost… kind. But in real life, he’s still the boy who doesn’t even notice her. And when their parents start dating and Emmie’s quiet world crashes into his, she braces for disaster.
She doesn’t expect to fall for him.
She definitely doesn’t expect him to fall back.
And she never sees the betrayal coming.
What begins as a secret crush spirals into a cruel game, one that leaves Emmie humiliated, heartbroken, and questioning everything she thought she knew about herself. Now, with her world in pieces, she must decide who she wants to be when there's nothing left to hide behind.
A raw, emotional story of first love, painful truths, and the strength it takes to survive them.
